In addition to those two heavyweight fights, the TUF 16 Finale includes the welterweight finals of Season 16 of “TUF,” which currently airs on Friday nights on FX. Barry is one of Carwin’s assistant coaches on the show.

Barry, one of the UFC’s most popular heavyweights is just 1-3 in his past four fights. In May, he suffered a first-round TKO loss to Lavar Johnson at UFC on FOX 3. In January, the Minnesota-based fighter earned “Fight of the Night” honors for a knockout win over Christian Morecraft at UFC on FX 1.

But prior to that victory, Barry lost consecutive fights to Cheick Kongo by knockout and Stefan Struve by submission. Against Kongo, Barry nearly the fight finished. But Kongo, despite being out on his feet, survived and stunned Barry with a knockout punch.

Del Rosario made his UFC debut in May, but suffered a second-round TKO loss to Stipe Miocic at UFC 146. That was Del Rosario’s first fight under the UFC banner after going 3-0 with three first-round stoppages for Strikeforce.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
